Man injured in rowing collision
A 50-year-old man had to be airlifted to hospital after a collision
involving two rowing boats in Worcestershire.
He was in an eight-man vessel such as those "used in the Oxbridge boat
race" on the River Severn by Grimley, the ambulance service said.

The victim, whose foot was trapped, broke his ankle.

None of the other rowers were injured in the incident close to Camp
Lane on Saturday, a spokesman for the ambulance service added.
